Global warming and pollution caused forest fires to increase. To stop the forest fire, Dryad is a concept made of biomaterials by fungi that can survive a wildfire. Its altered mycelium system can feed on the carbon waste left after the fires, to make the building grow by itself. The outer shell and underneath structure provide humidity for the forest and store water. Dryad can emit fluorescent light to warn about prominent dangers in the forest. Dryad also contains living areas for future forest urban development.
